The story

Verislow is a dapper Goop who is slow at everything. He promises to meet Lazileva at the elf waterfalls before sunset, then daydreams for hours about his toy boat and arrives long after dark.

A hidden hand pulls him behind the falls, and he tumbles out in Iceland. A white horse named Blokk says he needs Blue Lagoon water and volcano rock to get home, and he must be on time.

The real place: Iceland

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

  1. 1Svartifoss means "Black Falls" because its water pours over dark columns of old lava rock that look like giant organ pipes.
  2. 2The Blue Lagoon's milky blue water stays warm, even in winter, because it is heated deep underground.
  3. 3More Atlantic puffins nest in Iceland than anywhere else in the world.
